  • Robotics is fast becoming an integral part of the school curriculum with it's ability to integrate across a broad range of topics, most notably the Technology, Science and Math Key Learning Areas. Robotics encourages kids to think creatively, analyse situations and apply critical thinking and problem solving skills to real world problems. Teamwork and co-operation are a cornerstone of any robotics project. Students learn it is acceptable to make mistakes, especially if it leads them to better solutions. Robotics is a fun and engaging way to teach fundamental technology, maths and science concepts.

    During the summer 2008 / 09 holidays, I was in the process of creating a unit of work using the Lego NXT robots. I assumed there would be some bookmarks within the OZ/NZ educators group on robotics but I did not find any.

    Could teachers that teach robotics, please add their bookmarks to this group. Thanks in anticipation.
